Smoke continues to fill the Lake Tahoe Basin.

It is coming from fires burning to the west and south of here. According to the National Weather Service in Reno it is coming from the County Fire near Sacramento and the Lions Fires west of Mammoth. 

The wind is supposed to pick up Tuesday afternoon, which could help blow the smoke out of the area.

“Dry and windy conditions are the main concern for most of this week, so be aware and avoid starting any potential fires,” the Weather Service said.
